As an endurance fight, you ideally would like to see the healers being able to heal their tank using only as much mana as their mana regeneration allows. This is also key for other fights, such as Golemagg, but I think it's much more realistic for Domo's fight.
- Flyndar(?) pointed out the smokestacks as convenient landmarks for tanks. Tanks could bring the guards they're tanking to specific smokestacks. The one that's being killed can pretty much be anywhere.<>

In the first attempt yesterday, I was healing Darian along with Vale back in the corner. We had things absolutely locked down for much of that fight and Vale and I were sitting at nearly full mana almost the entire time. This is because those elites really don't dish out that much damage, when separated. However, in the second attempt Darian's and Tal's targets were too close together and Darian was getting hit by the AoE attacks of Tal's target. This GREATLY increased our mana consumption for the fight. We had to call over another healer to try and help us out for a while because we were getting so long on mana. The difference was night and day.
If we can keep the various guards spread out so that there isn't any overlap in their AoE pulses, I think that 2 healers can EASILY keep a tank up almost indefinitely in this battle. We just need to take control of the chaos and get those guards split up. :)
